FAQ
questions / answers
checkout Frequently asked questions
Here are some of the most common questions we encounter.
What is a natural swimming pond or swim pond?
A natural swimming pond is a chemical-free pool that uses plants and biological filtration to keep the water clean. It provides a safe, eco-friendly alternative to traditional pools, blending naturally into your landscape while offering a great swimming experience.
How is a recreation pond different from a regular pond?
Recreation ponds are built for active use—like swimming, boating, or fishing—so they require durable construction, heavy-duty liners, and reliable filtration systems. Regular ponds are often decorative and may not be designed for those activities.
How long does it take to build a recreation pond or swim pond?
Build time depends on the size and complexity of the project, but generally, it can take anywhere from several weeks to a few months. Proper planning, excavation, liner installation, and landscaping all take time to ensure quality and durability.
What kind of maintenance do recreation ponds require?
Recreation ponds need regular maintenance such as checking and cleaning filtration systems, managing algae, and seasonal inspections. Natural swimming ponds may require some plant care and occasional water testing but don’t need chemicals like traditional pools.
Can I swim in my recreation pond year-round?
Depending on your climate and the pond’s design, swimming can often be enjoyed most months of the year. Proper filtration and circulation help maintain water quality for extended seasons.
Are natural pools safe for children and pets?
Yes. Natural swimming ponds use non-toxic, chemical-free filtration, making them safe for kids and pets. Plus, the gradual entry zones and plant areas create natural boundaries for safety. But like any open body of water there are safe guidelines to implement.
Do you offer maintenance services after installation?
Yes, we provide ongoing maintenance packages to keep your recreation pond or swim pond in top shape, including seasonal cleanouts, equipment checks, and algae control.
